2 Safety instructions
2.1 General notes
NOTICE
Warning of damage to property and/or the environment.
The product was in perfect condition with regard to safety features when it left the
factory.
To maintain this condition and to ensure safe operation, the user must follow the
instructions and observe the warnings in this manual.
2.2 Intended use
The load cells are designed for use in table scales, counting scales, and checkweighers.
The load cells PR 40/.., PR 43/.., PR 47/.. may only be used as intended for weighing
tasks.
The dimensions of all mounting and structural components must be calculated so that
sufficient overload capacity is ensured for all loads which may occur while taking the
relevant standards into account. In particular, upright weighing objects must be
safeguarded against the weighing installation turning over or being shifted, thus
eliminating danger to people, animals, or goods even in the case of a break in a load cell
or mounting element.
Installation and repair work must only be carried out by expert/qualified personnel.
The load cells reflect the state of the art. The manufacturer does not accept any liability
for damage caused by third-party system components or due to incorrect use of the
product.
2.3 Initial inspection
Check the contents of the consignment for completeness. Check the contents visually to
determine whether any damage has occurred during transport. If there are grounds for
rejection of the goods, a claim must be filed with the carrier immediately. The
Minebea Intec sales or service organization must also be notified.
2.4 Before operational startup
NOTICE
Perform visual inspection.
Before operational startup as well as after storage or transport, inspect the load cell
visually for signs of mechanical damage.
The load cell should not be commissioned if it displays signs of visible damage and/
or is defective.

4 Installation
4.1 Safety instructions
NOTICE
Welding or lightning strike current flowing through the cell can damage it.
All electrical welding on the weighing system must be finished before mounting the load
cells.
During any additional electrical welding work near the load cell:
-Disconnect the load cell cables.
-Bypass the load cell.
-Make sure that the grounding clamp of the welding set is fitted as closely as possible
to the welding joint.
The following must be observed during installation:
-Do not lift or transport the load cell by pulling on the cable.
-Avoid shock stress (falling down, hard shocks).
-Load forces must act in the direction indicated (arrow on the load cell).
NOTICE
Changes of temperature >15 K/h may influence the measuring accuracy.
Make sure to protect the load cells from direct heating or cooling effects (sun, wind,
heat radiation, fan heaters), e.g., heat protection screens or heat protection
housings are to be installed if necessary.
NOTICE
Force shunts may cause measuring errors.
All incoming and outgoing lines (hoses, pipes, cables) must be coupled to the
measured object as flexibly as possible.

5 Connection
5.1 General information
-Protect the cable ends against contamination. Moisture must not get into the open
end of the cable.
-Keep the load cell cables away from power cables.
-The distance between measurement cables and power cables and/or components
under high voltage should be at least 1 m (reference value).
-We recommend laying the load cell cables in separate cable trays or armored steel
pipes.
-Power cables should be crossed at right angles while taking into account the
minimum distance of 1 m (reference value).
Note:
If hum interference occurs, the cable screens should only be connected on one side.
Depending on the design of the cable junction box used, either the jumper J3 must be
removed or the cable screens must be disconnected from the terminal contacts
highlighted in yellow.
WARNING
When installing in potentially explosive atmospheres:
It is imperative that you follow the application-dependent installation instructions!
Always check whether it is permissible to bilaterally connect the screens to the
equipotential bonding.

5.3 Load cell cable
The load cell cables are inseparably connected to the load cells in the factory.
The special sheathing material and the integrated strain relief with Kevlar thread ensure
extremely long service life even under difficult operating conditions.
However, despite the robust nature of the materials used, the cable should be protected
from excessive chemical and mechanical stresses. Preventing water from penetrating the
end of the cable is also important "life insurance" for the system.

6 Maintenance/repairs/cleaning
6.1 Maintenance
The load cells PR 40/.., PR 43/.., PR 47/.. are maintenance-free.
6.2 Repairs
The load cells PR 40/.., PR 43/.., PR 47/.. are designed to be robust as possible for the
required measuring accuracy and are highly reliable.
Should an electrical or mechanical defect nevertheless occur, the load cell must be
replaced.
Load cell repair is not possible.
6.3 Cleaning
Dirt on the load cell and movable parts of the scale must be cleaned as quickly as possible
-if it influences weighing, or
-if it is corrosive to the cell or cable material.
NOTICE
Some cleaning agents may not be compatible with the load cell material.
When using cleaning agents, ensure that their compatibility with the load cell
material has been tested and approved (see Chapter 3.2).
Clean the load cell with a damp cloth to avoid electrostatic charging.

and dispose of it separately from other unsorted municipal waste so that it can then be
recycled.
Before disposing of or scrapping the product, any batteries should be removed and taken
to a suitable collection point.
Please see our T&Cs for further information.
Service addresses for repairs are listed in the product information supplied with the
product and on our website (www.minebea-intec.com).
